2001 Parallel Leopard/Black
Untamed Elegance.
The Parallel in Leopard Print/Black Leather is for those who refuse to blend in. This isn't just a statement sneaker—it's a conversation starter. Featuring a bold leopard print upper grounded by sleek black leather details, this iteration of our heritage silhouette brings fierce energy to every step.
The contrast between wild print and refined leather creates a dynamic tension that's both eye-catching and surprisingly versatile. Dress them down with black denim or let them be the hero piece with neutral tailoring—either way, you're making an entrance.
Why you'll love them:
- Bold leopard print upper for maximum impact
- Premium black leather accents for refined contrast
- Classic Parallel silhouette—comfortable, timeless, versatile
- Statement-making style that pairs with more than you'd think
-
Contoured arch support, two footbeds in every pair. A cushioned top layer over a firm, arch-supporting base. Lift one out for a roomier fit.
-
Lightning laces included. Elastic laces you do up once. Slip on, slip off, still look laced.
Runs small. Most people take one size up from their usual.

Every pair ships with two footbeds: a cushioned top layer that absorbs impact, over a firm, contoured base with the arch support built in. Your arch is held up rather than sinking into foam, which is the thing people mention most after the first week. Wear both. If you want more room, lift the top one out and the arch support stays where it is.
Our 2001 Parallel and Crossroads styles run about half a size smaller than our other styles. If you're between sizes, go up. Size guide.
Two sets of laces in the box. The regular ones you tie, and the Lightning laces: flat, elastic, done up once. After that you slip in and out, and the shoe still looks laced.
Spare colours are $14.90. Shop laces.

A tree planted for every pair. Footbeds made from 25% plant-based material, covered in 70% recycled fabric. Leather from Leather Working Group tanneries. Organic-cotton laces and dust bag, and a recycled-cardboard box with a fabric handle, so no extra bag. More on Treadlightly.
